Summary
Errors can come about from a number of causes: File corruption, network problems, hardware problems, insufficient resources and yes, even program bugs
This module decides what to do when errors are encountered.
Details
Several Options are available:
Disable error checking Turns off error checking. This speeds the system, but any errors encountered can crash the system
Write to Error Log Any Errors found can be written to a specified error log which is shown below
Silent running You can set this option to not report errors to the user
When an error is encountered (and you have not selected silent running), an error screen will appear
this screen usually gives vital clues to the source of the error. You have 4 options:
Close the system and exit Databuild
Save the error message details to a file
Email the error message usually to databuild support
Continue on ignoring the error. While this will not effect your data, it could lead to further crashes
